For most people, including many members of the Christian community,
foundational understandings of immigration come from the news, their
neighbors’ opinions, from national security needs, or the country’s
legal framework. M. Daniel Carroll R. firmly believes that God’s people
can and must do better than this. “Christians should respond
self-consciously as Christians to immigration,” he claims, “and the
Bible should be their fundamental resource.”
Does the Bible have
anything to say about immigration? Indeed it does, claims Carroll, and
he sets out to amply demonstrate it by walking readers through the lives
and times of Abraham, Ruth, Daniel, Esther and Jesus himself, whose own
life began as a refugee “in another place as a displaced person.”
Readers
of this booklet will find Carroll’s writing insightful, yet easy to
read — a fine beginning for sermons, Sunday school lessons, and
small-group conversations.
